Luxury makeup launch with Clarins!

In the constantly evolving world of makeup, some launches mark a true milestone!

This is the case with the Skin Illusion All-in-One Concealer, developed in collaboration with the Groupe Clarins teams.

For this project, somater put its industrial expertise to work in the production of the upper part of the packaging as well as the wiper, two key components contributing to product performance, application precision and the overall user experience.

This development fully reflects our expertise: mastery of complex and technical injection-moulded parts, excellence in assembly, finishing partnerships, and the ability to deliver finished components meeting the highest quality standards of the luxury beauty industry.

Both elegant, high-performing and responsible, this packaging reflects a shared ambition: to enhance the product while integrating more sustainable choices.

A project we are particularly proud of, driven by the commitment, expertise and passion of our teams.

LESS IS MORE: somater simplifies to be more responsible!

ANL Packaging is proud to have supported MicroBioTests Inc. in the development and production of a new PET blister pack for its Microbiotests Toxkits, used worldwide to assess the toxicity of polluted aquatic and terrestrial environments.

Thanks to close collaboration between our teams, the packaging concept was simplified and optimized, reducing the number of components required to pack the test kit.
This approach notably made it possible to eliminate a polyurethane foam cushion, while maintaining the required level of product protection.

A concrete optimization that makes the packaging simpler, more efficient and more sustainable, while fully meeting the needs of our partner.
A big thank you to MicroBioTests Inc. for their trust, and congratulations to all the teams involved in this development!

Eco-design in action: a new innovation!

At somater, we have developed a new refillable solution designed around one simple principle: a lid, an insert, a jar—and as little material as possible.
The result is a lighter, refillable packaging solution designed to better meet the challenges of circularity.

This innovation makes it possible to:
♻️ significantly reduce packaging weight;
♻️ improve recyclability;
♻️ offer a genuine refill solution;
♻️ incorporate the percentage of recycled material required by each customer.

Less material. More circularity. More flexibility for our customers.
A concrete innovation supporting more responsible packaging.

Journée mondiale de l’environnement : Somater accélère sa décarbonation !

World Environment Day: Somater is accelerating its decarbonisation journey!

On the occasion of World Environment Day, we are highlighting a concrete initiative undertaken by the Belgian plant Plastuni Operations NV.

The site recently installed 4,500 m² of solar panels on its roof, in order to locally produce part of the electricity required for its operations.

This initiative directly contributes to reducing our carbon footprint by integrating more renewable energy into our energy mix.

It is part of our whole strategy of progressive and concrete decarbonisation of our operations, site by site, within the Somater Group.

We have a clear objective: to make our industrial operations more energy-efficient, more responsible and more sustainable.

A concrete step in Somater’s commitment towards a lower-carbon industry.

  • Better automation of our processes
  • Reduced risk of musculoskeletal disorders for our line operators
  • Optimized transport between our plant and the customer
  • Improved logistics packaging through to distribution points

ANL Packaging lance un nouveau produit sur le marché belge !

ANL Packaging launches a new product for the Belgian market!

ANL Packaging is proud to announce the launch of its packaging dedicated to NVIVE medicine, developed and produced at the Wellen site since 2025.

The design of this innovative product is based on a thermoformed solution combining a PP tray and a PET lid. One of the main technical challenges was to achieve sufficient cavity depth in a particularly compact format, while ensuring the quality, consistency and reliability of the packaging.

This development once again demonstrates the expertise of the ANL Packaging teams in technical thermoforming, packaging innovation and customer support for high value-added projects.

Congratulations to the ANL Packaging teams on this great achievement!
